Hong Kong Sunset Cruise plus Dinner at the Jumbo Floating Restaurant
Hong Kong, Hong Kong
My Rating

Enjoyed the harbour cruise and stop off at Mid levels on way back. Dinner seemed too rushed, all courses brought out at the same time. Very few people on the Wednesday night we went, lacked atmosphere.

Macau Day Trip from Hong Kong
Hong Kong, Hong Kong
My Rating

Cisco was enthusiastic and knew his stuff but perhaps too much in the itinerary. Macau Tower was interesting with good views of mainland China and Pearl River. Lunch was OK. Ferry trip was good but customs paperwork excessive.

Easy free coach connection from MTR Kowloon Bay Station to Megabox Complex. Kelvin Flight Instructor very personable but check your DVD quality before you leave.

Classical Rome City Tour
Rome, Italy
My Rating

Massimo was an excellent guide with a good command of English. This tour was definitely worth while for people with limited time in Rome. It involved a fair bit of necessary walking to see the attractions but at the end I felt we had received value for money especially when we walked straight past the long lines for entry to St Peters Basilica. I thought that I was duomoed out by the time we did this tour but this tour saved the best for last. eg the Vatican.

Skip the Line: Ancient Rome and Colosseum Half-Day Walking Tour
Rome, Italy
My Rating

Davido was an excellent guide with a good sense of humour and command of English. He kept the group of about 21 together with another time to take photos, provide toilet stops and provide an informative commentary. It went a little over the 3 hours and the walking was quite extensive but fortunately weather conditions were pleasant. Skipping the long lines was worth the cost alone. I felt sorry for the poor people who don't plan their day or do some research.

Tuscan Cooking Class and Dinner in Florence
Florence, Italy
My Rating

As a high school teacher I found this an interesting experience. Animated and extrovert teacher, Fabrizio, kept things moving along. Worked in small groups of four or five. The dinner at the end was enjoyable in a pleasant environment. Met some nice people from various countries. Not too hard to reach by foot from central Firenze.

Mont Saint Michel Day Trip
Paris, France
My Rating

A long day, did not return until about 9.30 pm. A good way to see western France by coach on the way to Mt St Michel. Lunch was pleasant and the guide was excellent. Stacks of school kids at the Abbey, but the whole day was worthwhile.

Moulin Rouge Paris Dinner and Show
Paris, France
My Rating

Enjoyed the dinner and show. Not hard to find by Metro with instructions provided, but the line up outside was a little disorganised. Definitely worth a visit. Variety acts were top class. Were seated next to fellow Australians.
